St. Louis Cardinals Starting Lineup 1/22/21 Cardinals Lineup
30-28, 2nd in NL Central
Confirmed
Conf
STL 0 @ SD 4
Final
The NL Central was a three-team struggle with the Cardinals right in the middle of it all. Things project to be similar in 2020, but one of the trio of pennant contenders could change. St. Louis seems to always produce talent. There core hitters will change little heading into the new season. They have a strong balance at both corner infield positions a short stop that hits for power. Outfield appears to be the weakest link in their hitting.
The trio of projected everyday outfielders is slated to hit after one another at the bottom of the Cardinals order. One of the Cardinals biggest assets during their consistent run as a playoff contender has been strong pitching. St. Louis really didn't miss a beat in 2019, finishing with the fifth best ERA in baseball. However, there are some indications that they could have a more difficult time duplicating that feat in 2020. Any loss in that area could put more numbers in the Cardinals loss column than expected.

St. Louis Cardinals FAQ
The Cardinals may not have the most flashy starting lineup out there, but they have a group of names that will push them to a potential spot in the playoffs. The top of the lineup might go through some changes this season as they don't have that consistent leadoff man. Dexter Fowler has struggled, and Matt Carpenter's game has fallen off over the last two seasons. Kolten Wong and Tommy Edman are names that could work their way into the leadoff or two-spot. Paul DeJong and Paul Goldschmidt are the two power bats in the middle of the order. Goldy, of course, is also one of the better contact bats and is going to be the RBI machine. Now the back half of the lineup is a little weak. Yadier Molina isn't the same bat he once was, and the outfield isn't quite as potent either.
